Finely tuned eye movements are instrumental in enhancing visual acuity, according to findings of a study published in Nature Communications. Finely tuned eye movements are instrumental in enhancing ...

Recent investigations in vision science have revealed that eye movements play an active role beyond the mere stabilization of retinal images. Instead of serving a passive function, subtle ocular ...

Visual acuity--the ability to discern letters, numbers, and objects from a distance--is essential for many tasks, from recognizing a friend across a room to driving a car. Researchers previously ...

When novel movements are learned -- for example, in sports -- visual and motor learning take place simultaneously. In findings reported this week, researchers present an experiment that separates the ...

Saccadic eye movements are rapid, ballistic shifts in gaze that allow the fovea to sample different parts of a visual scene, facilitating high-resolution perception. Research in this area has revealed ...

Given that we see the world through two small, flat retinae at the backs of our eyes, it seems remarkable that what each of us perceives is a seamless, three-dimensional visual world. The retinae ...

Why do our mental images stay sharp even when we are moving fast? A team of neuroscientists led by Professor Maximilian Jösch at the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA) has identified a ...
